A Study on Analysis of Product Quality Problems in Plywood Production of No 2 Plywood Factory in Myanmar

Nowadays, plywood market is wide and trend is toward not only local but also international. Global plywood market size also is anticipated large and increasing demand for easy to install and ready made furniture are furling the growth of the plywood market. To keep the competitive advantage, quality improvement is one of the marketing strategies to lead plywood market. The main aim of this research is to analyse the root cause of the quality problems and develop solutions in the plywood manufacturing processes. The data was collected from the No 2 plywood Factory of Myanma Timber Enterprise After analysing the manufacturing processes and defect data, the main quality problems of plywood manufacturing processes of the factory were uneven thickness and high moisture content and these two problems are toward the low grade product. To reduce the nonconforming items, some statistical process control SPC tools were applied for finding the root cause of the problems. Finally, the proposed solutions were developed to solve the root cause of the quality problems of plywood production of No 2 Plywood Factory.
